2) Agent Policies - After resolving the group policies, the conflicting policies assigned to an
agent (via it’s group membership) are resolved. The following rules apply:
a) The resultant policies of all groups to which the agent is a member are resolved as
defined in the
Agent Policy Conflict Resolution Rules on page 283.
b) Any policy values that have not been defined via the agent’s group membership are
populated based upon the policy settings defined in the Global Policy Set.
NOTE
: The policy settings defined in the Global Policy Set are only used to fill the
empty agent policy values. Therefore, conflict resolution rules do not apply to the
Global Policy Set.
